Heavy Duty Hand Trucks - You Can Move Just About Anything
Heavy Duty Hand Trucks - You Can Move Just About Anything
Are you looking for a hand truck that can withstand some serious abuse and still out perform the competition? If you are in the market for a true warehouse workhorse, then you need to think about purchasing a Heavy Duty hand truck not some wimpy standard model that will only last a few months. These heavy working beasts can last a lifetime!
They do not label them heavy duty for nothing. They are built stronger with more rigid materials and stronger more frequent welds. On a standard model most welds are welded only once, the heavy duty models usually get double welds. They are manufactured with a thicker gauge pipe. They can handle larger loads and most feature a powder coat that resists the elements and scratches.
You could try a standard hand truck but if it is going to be used on a daily basis, you should stick with a heavy model. It will pay for itself with improved workflow, safety and speed. It may cost more up front but they will last longer than a regular model and you will see more of a return on your investment.
The main difference is load limits. Do you think you will need to push more than 600 pounds? For a standard hand truck 600 pounds is usually the limit. Heavy models on the other hand are designed and engineered to carry much more than 600 pounds. Almost all heavy duty models are made from steel. Aluminum just ca not take that kind of abuse.
